How many times are they going to update Druid spell animations before they touch any other casters? 5x? 20x? Does everyone at Blizzard main Druids?

Are you seriously saying that Blizzard shows favoritism to Druids? The only class with four specs? The class that comes bundled with frequently updated and unique hi-res skins? And gets special call-outs and emotes from bosses in Legion? And can teleport to their Order Hall from anywhere in the world? And has exclusive pets there? And has portals there to all over Azeroth? And instant-cast flying? And arguably the best soloing potential? And they can stealth? And is currently the optimal tank? And the best healing spec for Mythic+?

Seriously dude. That's a mighty big accusation. I hope you have some evidence and aren't talking out of your ass.

Yep, all true. Just don't try to DPS in progression :). But these are all the reasons I main a druid anyway. I don't love the resto animation changes, though. The new efflorescence especially. Having a nice crisp border is helpful when you have to remind everyone to get in there.

Dat boomkin!

Feel really sorry for arcane mages, though. I don't play one, but their animations seem really boring and outdated while boomkin gets second rework during Legion :c

I like old Efflorescence better than new one.I wanted the new animation to follow images of leaves and butterflies dancing.

Hah.

Although, to be fair, monks can port to their order hall and so can mages. And Zen flight allows instant (though slow) flying.

They reworked DKs and Druids in this patch, it's pretty certain that they're getting around to other casters who weren't touched too.

Like the changes but do have to agree the new efflorescence may be harder to see. It looks really nice but too translucent

You forgot a 2 second cast time usable in combat (can be broken my taking damage) that teleports you to a safe random location with a 1 minute cd, being some of the best flag carriers, the INSANE damage of balance druids in battlegrounds, the fearsome feral that dps while healing in arenas, the insane versatility of all four specs and the best looking (personal opinion) raid/pvp set in years with legion.

Much as I like the look of the Solo Challenge werebear, that run animation makes zero sense. He would be falling all over himself in any universe with sensible physics. Why not have them loping like a giant were-creature? The Worgen animation would have been a good guide.

Love the new spell effects. Still annoyed about the class mount colors and why did they not give it a sit animation? They just had to use the pandaren phoenix bones, sigh...

Most of those new spell animations are pretty sweet! Didn't really make much sense for Fury of ELUNE to look like a sun spell either. Not really impressed by the new Starsurge though. While I think the new Efflorescence looks good, I don't think it is or will be as iconic as the old one.

Its amazing how boring and dull something can look when you've been casting it the same damn way for the past twelve years. New spell animations are nice, blizz, but how about casters getting some love just like melee? Not even slightly excited and I main a druid... :/
